DEL - Quick Tips: SALT

Growing up I remember being told that salt was bad for you and one should not salt anything...oh how we were misled. If you eat fresh non-processed foods, salt is a VERY important addition to any meal. Salt enhances the flavor of everything be it a salad, a T-bone steak or a cookie. Salt helps "pop" the flavor of any dish. Now, one can be heavy handed with salt but don't ever cook without it! Salt has become so popular that you can buy a wide array of different salts at your local grocery store: Murray River salt from Australia, Volcanic salt from Hawaii, or giant crystals of pink Himalayan salt that you can shave on top of dishes. Each salt provides various flavors and textures to your dishes...it is not just about Iodized salt anymore! I recommend checking out Salt Works to see the wide selection of salts from around the world. It really does make a difference!
